The NIH is seeking quality. An ideal contractor would be able to “manufacture standardized marijuana cigarettes within a range of varying concentrations of delta-9-THC.” Delta-9-THC is the active psychotropic ingredient in marijuana. It’s more commonly referred to simply as THC.

No scientific study is complete without a proper control. The NIH requests that qualified candidates be able to roll “nicotine research cigarettes,” to aid the investigators.

Couch potatoes need not apply: the NIH is seeking punctual candidates. “Organizations should demonstrate [a] capability to administer and coordinate interrelated tasks in an effective and timely manner.” Noting applications be received: “NO LATER THAN 5 pm Eastern time November 8, 2018.” The all-caps emphasis is theirs.
